In North America both legs of the 240 volt supply are "hot" to ground. A two pole switch is used to break both legs from the supply. If only a single pole switch is used one leg will open and the tank would not operate but if you were depending on the switch to isolate the supply it could be dangerous. The other leg could lead to a shock if you touched the unswitched leg to ground while working on the tank.

Adding a 240 volt 20amp electric heater in my crawl space Would like to use my 20 amp circuit for outside condenser Both would never be on at the same time Do they make a switch for this?
Yes, what you are looking for is a double pole double throw switch. The center lugs are connected to the incoming line. Then the top lugs could be connected to the electric heater and the bottom lugs connected to the condenser. The trouble lies in finding a switch with a rating of 20 amps. These types of switches are usually used with a stand-by generator and rated at 100A and greater. Think I remember seeing one at 60A once. You might want to think of using a DPDT relay rated at 30A with a 120 volt coil. With a switch to operate it the relay. Depends in what part of the country you live, long winters switch off for heater, long summers switch off for conderser.

Why electric heater give electric shock when it switch was off?
An electric heater may give a shock when the switch is off due to a few reasons, such as faulty wiring, improper grounding, or a malfunctioning switch. If there is a short circuit or insulation failure, voltage can still leak to the metal parts of the heater. Additionally, static electricity buildup can also cause a mild shock. It's crucial to ensure that the heater is properly maintained and inspected to prevent such hazards.
What is the necessity of the starter.Can a single pole switch replace it?
A motor starter usually has an overload heater incorporated into it. A single pole switch does not have that type of protection. There are many brands of fractional motor starter switches. These types of switches are sized by the motors full load amperage. These types are dual purpose being that they can be used as the motors isolation switch and also they can be used as motor protection for the connected motor.
How do you wire an immersion timer switch?
To wire an immersion timer switch, first, ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker. Connect the live wire (usually brown) from the power supply to the input terminal of the timer switch, then connect the output terminal of the timer to the live wire leading to the immersion heater. Connect the neutral wire (usually blue) directly to the immersion heater. Finally, secure all connections and restore power to test the timer functionality. Always follow local electrical codes and consider hiring a qualified electrician if unsure.

What is the purpose of a high limit switch in a water heater and how does it function to ensure the safety and proper operation of the appliance?
The purpose of a high limit switch in a water heater is to prevent the water from overheating, which can lead to dangerous situations like fires or explosions. The switch works by monitoring the temperature of the water and shutting off the heating element if it reaches a certain, preset limit. This helps to ensure the safety and proper operation of the water heater by preventing it from reaching dangerously high temperatures.
